Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once

Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once An Instagram user is making "low-cost" Among Us cosplays using his own body parts to represent the crew members of the beloved multiplayer game. An Instagram user has found a bizarre way to cosplay multiple Among Us characters at the same time. The social deduction game has taken the internet by storm despite being largely ignored when it released in 2018. The game has reached such incredible amounts of popularity that the developer cancelled a sequel to focus up on developing the current game. Among Us, like the similarly explosive Fall Guys before it, owes much of its success to its adorable, minimally designed characters. The astronauts in Among Us are small, beanlike creatures, decked out like Skittles in bright primary colors. Like in Fall Guys, players can purchase cosmetic accessories for their astronaut, including hats, and even little pets that can follow them around. While players are mostly interested in Amo...

Among Us Worst Task ISNT The Card Swipe

Among Us Worst Task ISNT The Card Swipe

There is a wide variety of tasks in Among Us. Some are easier and far less frustrating to complete than others, and one should be removed completely.

Among Us Worst Task ISNT The Card Swipe

There are a lot of different tasks in Innersloth's Among Us, but the most infuriating one is (unfortunately) both on the game's most common map and far, far too long. Unlike some tasks in Among Us like "Fix the electrical wires" which ask players to move from room to room and complete a short minigame in each one, Among Us' worst task makes players stay uncomfortably still in a very exposed location for a lengthy period of time - putting them in the crosshairs of any Impostors who may stumble past.

The Skeld is Among Us' most popular map, and for good reason. It's the perfect size for a group of ten players to run around in - just big enough to allow for certain people to be alone but not so big players get lost. Even people who are new to Among Us can quickly learn the ins and outs of The Skeld, thanks in part to its simple hallway layout and distinctive room designs. Both of Among Us' other maps, Polus and MIRA HQ, are larger and either more convoluted (MIRA) or more open and sporadic (Polus) which can be hard for players, especially new ones, to get used to.

However, just because The Skeld is the best map in Among Us doesn't mean it has the best tasks. Some of the tasks in MIRA HQ, for example, are not only interesting from a gameplay perspective but also in the way that they connect to the larger lore and story of Among Us, especially in rooms like The Laboratory. The Skeld's tasks aren't quite as meaningful to Among Us' overarching plot, but many of them are still perfectly enjoyable, if a little simple. One task, however, is almost certainly a death sentence in Among Us - or at least a sign that the player who is unlucky enough to have to perform it is about to be frustrated.

Among Us' Start The Reactor Task Is Awful

Among Us Worst Task ISNT The Card Swipe

Starting the Reactor in Among Us is basically a five-step electronic memory game, but it's the speed (or lack thereof) at which the task proceeds, combined with the amount of space it takes up on the screen, which makes it so infuriating. While nearly all of the tasks in Among Us make it so the majority of the screen is obscured, the amount of time the Start Reactor task stays up means players are usually vulnerable for periods of up to thirty full seconds - and that's if they don't accidentally press the wrong button, which forces them to try again.

To make things worse, the lengthy amount of time it takes to complete Among Us' Start Reactor task means that it is incredibly likely another player will discover a dead body or press the Emergency Meeting button while someone is still on their third or forth round of memory inputs. This forces all players to go back to the cafeteria, discuss what's happening, vote someone off, and only then can the player return to The Skeld's Reactor to finish the task. [Update 18/11/2020: This article originally had a statement about the Start Reactor task resetting after an Emergency Meeting/Body Report. This was incorrect, but was overlooked due to the author's frustration with being interrupted on the second button press for the third time in a row.]

Starting the Reactor in Among Us simply takes too long. It's too easily interrupted, and it might make players more vulnerable than any other task in the game. While many players give the Swipe Card task in Admin a hard time for being frustrating (and rightfully so, at least on the PC version of Among Us) it's really the Reactor where player's hatred should be targeted towards. Hopefully, Among Us' new map will bring everything players love about The Skeld back, without having overly-frustrating tasks like this one.

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are Among Us' dastardly Impostors terrorize crewmates with various forms of killing and sabotage, and fans have theories about their origins and motives. The Impostors that give Among Us its name and central gameplay hook are, by design, a mysterious bunch. On the surface, they're nearly identical to Among Us' colorful crewmates, but Impostors exhibit certain strange and terrifying properties. Due to the game's lack of overt story, it's unclear what exactly Among Us' Impostors are, but fans have a few compelling theories. Unlike normal crewmates, Impostors have the ability to slink through vents, which - unless crewmates are small enough to do this, too, but simply have no need to - suggests they have some kind of shapeshifting ability. This would also explain Impostors' ability to open up a large mouth at the waist of their spacesuits and stab victims with sharp tongues. It's possible Among Us' crewmates also ha...

Every Among Us Kill Animation Ranked By Level Of Violence

Every Among Us Kill Animation Ranked By Level Of Violence Among Us is pretty brutal for such a simple-looking game with cute, rounded characters. Here's each kill animation ranked from least to most violent. Despite the rather cute and simple look of Among Us, the online science fiction game has some pretty horrific kill animations that are often shown when an Impostor is left alone with an unsuspecting Crewmate. This list will go over each one, ranking them from least to most violent. Killing is a natural part of Among Us as the premise states a parasitic shapeshifter Impostor has taken the place of one of the Crewmates in an otherwise productive crew of MIRA scientists, explorers, and researchers. Crewmates try figure out who the Impostor is while trying to stay alive, but fans know that death is an inevitable part of the game. In fact, the absence of one makes it near impossible to find out who the real Impostors are. Currently, there are only four different kill animations, but...

Among Us Map Timeline Theory How The Impostor Attacks Started

Among Us Map Timeline Theory How The Impostor Attacks Started One interesting Among Us fan theory offers an explanation on the origins of the Impostors and provides a timeline for when and where they appear. The online social deduction multiplayer title Among Us is a relatively simple game, but it's recent success has already brought about some interesting and complex fan theories to give more backstory to the space-themed setting. One theory gives a plausible explanation for how the Impostors came to be, incorporating each of the maps for more evidence. There are currently three maps in Among Us: The Skeld, MIRA HQ, and the latest addition, Polus. The developers are in the process of adding a new map, so this theory will only pertain to the ones already available. The Skeld is the primary map that takes place on a cargo spaceship which travels to the other locations. MIRA HQ is a tall building set high in a planet's atmosphere and is the location the Crewmates travel back to a...
